Thought Katanas were like the longswords in japan (more of what I'm going for) and the dai-katana was complete 2 handed...??In any case either way is fine... I don't use shields nor do I care much for them. Same goes to double weapons. Even so would it help if I make a back sheath for my katana then? would this help at all?

Longswords are two-handed as well or at the very least bastard swords, vidja games have really fucked up the classification on swords. Dai-katanas go beyond the standard size for katanas. I will change what I said earlier in that I'll let you carry the katana in one hand, but to actually use it in combat you'll need two hands to not completely suck with it. A sheath would make it so that you no longer have to carry your katana out of combat, thus freeing up a hand to do stuff with.
